The Oscars meme of ’s legendary slap has reached Elden Ring, where it’s been re-enacted by people invading other players’ games.

Everyone’s seen by now, both the event itself and numerous memes poking fun at what may be the single most interesting thing ever to happen at the award ceremony.

Most of the memes are just photoshopped images or short animations but at least one Elden Ring player has turned it into a form of performance art.

They’ve renamed their character WILL SMITH and numerous people have reported being invaded by them, then watching as they stroll up, punch them once, and then walk back and leave.

Although some of the clips look like they’re staged, since normally you’d never let an invader get that close without defending yourself, the fact that they’re unarmed and not wearing any proper armour seems to have put people off.

If the option is left on, anyone can invade anyone else’s game in Elden Ring, which usually ends in a fight between the two and the victor claiming the spoils.

WILL SMITH doesn’t take anything except the other player’s sense of dignity, but already there are copycats since although the first reported incident had the name in all caps others do not.

Some have suggested one of them might even be the real Will Smith but there’s never been any indication he’s a keen gamer or would want to replay what was presumably a very stressful event through the medium of Elden Ring.
